i see obama very much that pattern. he has a whole string of foreign policy crises, but i think given this eisenhower pattern you're not going to see him intervene in syria. you're going to see him get us out of afghanistan and try to avoid foreign crises as much as possible or minimize them, and only use ground forces as a very, very last resort. >> schieffer: let's talk about afghanistan, david because the president made it pretty clear. ly said he said our war in afghanistan is over. but that seems to me a little bit different than saying the war in afghanistan is over. and in fact, i have had people say to me they sort of cringe when the president said that. they said-- tom friedman, the foreign affairs columnist in the "new york times," said that was the one thing that made me krimpleg when he said that because he said you just ought not ever say that because it's just suggesting it gives al qaeda ideas. >> this is a president who in every recent speech has stressedly i am ending thes that are america has. and by i
